I have installed 1559 , run the registry entries script

I see the VA Outline tool window but its blank

I have reset the IDE via Tools > ImportExport > reset IDE

What haven't I set

I'm in VB does that make any difference

What do I do Next

Thakns for the link

I had already read that and was still stuck

I have just had a thought and tried a C# project and all is well , I see everything , drag & drop etc

I suspect VB is the poor relation again , as it is with some aspects of Refactoring ( still awaititng the Fix)

Maybe I take up C# there seems to a lot more support growing for it rather than VB

VA Outline does not yet support VB, but this has been fixed internally:

case=5062

I am not sure when this will be released, but we are working towards a new beta release in a few weeks.

Cheers

If you can avoid the apparently common C# practice of having properties and member variables that differ only by the case of the first letter - I always viewed that with suspicion - just make sure you have VA suggestions working:

http://docs.wholetomato.com?W313

and then use longer names, so VA suggestions are more likely to be accurate. This way you spent a lot less time trying to spell things, and just rely on VA working it out for you. Its what I do

I sometimes "cheat" a bit and use a form of hungarian notation, partly since I find it helps me, and partly since it helps VA to give me the right suggestion since the type information at the start of a variable name narrows down the suggestions nicely
